Impact of UK Breakfast

STEED · 05-28-16, 05:10 AM

It seems the full English is not only the worst breakfast you can have on health grounds but it has impact else where.

Bath of water needed to produce full English breakfast, report says
Producing the average full English breakfast uses up the equivalent of a bathful of water and land the size of a small car, analysis suggests.

I wonder if the EU will outlaw the full english once the vote goes there way.

I have been thinking how long ago since I had the full english and it must be a good 20 odd years ago! I'm not really a breakfast person as it upsets my stomach even just a slice of toast makes me feel rough.

Myeah, not a breakfast person either. It usually takes a good 10 minutes to eat a sandwich in the morning.

Tho, I picked up some muesli stuff from the store, that I can eat.

Full english? I'd probably be still eating it in the evening.

Looks damn good, though.

Yea me too, I would still be trying to make headway through it.

As for muesli nice but that has the opposite effect, that goes though me fast.

Never been a breakfast of any sorts eater but now my health circumstances have changed my lifestyle choice is now a bowl of porridge or cereal with sliced fruit.

Dowly · 05-28-16, 06:16 AM

Ooo! I forgot all about the oatmeal I've got... somewhere.

Catfish · 05-28-16, 06:17 AM

All thing you eat or produce, needs water. Often an astonishing amount.
And? What is bad about it? This is not the Sahara, water falls from the sky, only the pipelines, artificial reservoirs and clarifying make it "expensive". And greedy companies.

Now the next fearmongering in the headlines of the yellow press?
"EU wants to take away your English Breakfast!"

Apart from that i like english breakfast but i would not eat it everyday, because all things i like, seem to be bad for my health

Don't make me puke Jim!! I hate breakfast foods, all I have is a cup of coffee and a biscuit to dunk, that's it!!

Now smoko, that's a different story.

It probably already developed legs and escaped.

^ Ah, right....smoked for 35 years but gave them up after the SubSim Meet in Texas 2008.

Smoko here in Australia is the mid morning break, usually around 10:30, I thought it would be the same over there.

It's the beans I've never understood. Why beans, why beans that look like they came direct from the can? Can't y'all at least mix in some hamburger, some extra ketchup, mustard, a bit of smoke flavor to make good baked beans?

It also takes 2 litres of water to make one litre bottle of bottled water

THAT'S waste. Making something that' not much different or worse than tap water just becasue the companies tell you it's cooler that way.
Mineral water excluded, that thing is beneficial for your health.

Now a full english, you need to water the crop and water the animals and a lot of it falls from the sky, especially the water the plants kind.
I'd bet the same water to food ratio is for muesli, fruit salad, sandwich...

Then again, that ratio might be higher for a fruit salad, you have to water the tree for 5 years before it's first crop
